Inspired by tradition, honest about it
Our designs borrow from trade-era and Plains traditions: horn handles, beaded lanyards, fringed and tooled leather, feather wraps. We admire that work, and we want to be just as clear about ours.
Buffalo Nation is not affiliated with any tribe, and our products are not Native American-made. If you are looking for work by a Native artist, the Indian Arts and Crafts Board keeps a directory of Native-owned businesses.
Which one is right for you?

Folding knife
Best for everyday carry and gifts. Blades from 2.5 to 3.5 inches fold into the handle and ride in a pocket or a belt sheath. The BF-04 Buffalo is a good first knife. See folding knives
Fixed blade knife
Best for hunting, skinning and camp work. No moving parts, a longer handle and a blade shaped for long cuts. The BF-06 Aero is our field knife. See fixed blades
Tomahawk
Best for display and collecting, with light camp use. Ours run 12.5 to 13 inches with beadwork and feathers; they are not felling axes or throwing hawks. See tomahawks
